The hazard
Operative components of surgical systems potentially distributed with E-brake retainer pin, so in event of a structural column failure, the E-brake pin would prevent E-brake engagement and may result in uncontrolled motion. In addition, if it moves/backs out it may cause restricted column range of motion and/or uncontrolled motion, which may cause patient tissue injury/crushing injury/bleeding.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
